Graciously Giving and Receiving

Day 19 of 31 Days to Fulfillment!

The intention and energy behind giving and receiving increases exponentially. When our energy of giving and receiving are joyful, in gratitude and from the heart, we become a magnet to receive that which we are grateful and joyful to receive. When our energy of giving and receiving is of fear, we become a magnet for more to be fearful.

The recipe for living the life we truly wish to live is to give joyfully, in gratitude, from the heart, with love, that which we wish to receive. Then graciously, with open arms, gratitude and joy, receive that which the universe returns to us.

Many of us are givers, but often find it difficult to receive graciously. It is through gracious receiving as well as gracious giving that we maintain the flow of this abundant universe in which we live, in balance. When we refuse a gift, we hinder or block the flow of not only our abundance, but the abundance of the giver.

Florence Scovel Shinn teaches that we are the giver and the receiver - we are one in the same - when we give something, we are at the same time receiving. Deepak Chopra teaches that the power of giving includes our thoughts and prayers. Everything we do begins with a thought - a thought is energy - and the universe notes it. The energy we harbor within ourselves dictates what manifests in our lives. This includes paying bills...

Are you a gracious receiver as well as giver? Are you blocking the abundance that is yours due to fear in releasing money when you pay a bill? With effort that fear can be transmuted to love and gratitude at the ability to pay the bill, thereby sending the money out with new life and energy for more money to take its place.

May you be a gracious receiver as well as giver now and always, thereby maintaining universal flow of abundance in all areas of your life...

In love and light,
Kate
